This definitely is "interesting"
Well folks, I'm fine fine fine. Don't worry about me!
This morning I went to the Tower of London (very cool place), and we took the District line back to the tube nearest Harrods because I had to go there for a class. People were weirdly paranoid on it, and we heard them announce closings of some lines, but didn't think anything of it.
So I'm at Harrods splitting an AMAZING hot fudge sundae with Lindsey when the guys from our group of 5 came up and said that there had been some explosions and the police were thinking about shutting down the Tube.
Knowing that A) the bus queues would be long B) they are also impossible to navigate C) paranoia, we took a cab back to campus. The End basically.
As far as I know, I'm still on for Scotland for the weekend. But if anything else happens, I'll let y'all know. Thanks for thinking about me.
Today was goooood
Well it's been a nice day.
Music business this morning involved a speaker named Rick Denche who is the senior VP of Disney character voices. He is in town because the kids of the new Narnia movie are here recording for the video games' dialogue. He said the movie is amazing (I hope so!) and quite true to the books. Let's hope so.
Life in the EU class was going to the Bank of England. Kind of boring, but on the way this old man got mad because the bus wouldn't let him on, and so he attacked the outside with this cane. Ah, London.
I just got back from a comedy club in West Hampstead. It was alright- quite crowded and smokey, and the MC was funny, but the actual acts weren't. Unless you could the Hungarian guy whose jokes made NO sense whatsover.
That's basically it. I'm sure I'm leaving a bunch out, so I'll get back to you if anything interesting occurs.
Photographic!
Okay okay, sorry that there's going to be so many photos on this one!
Anyway, Camden Market was great overall. That night I ended up staying up until 4 AM talking to Paul and Liz, so I was afraid my Music Business test would've gone bad, but thankfully I crammed so much that the only town I drew a blank on was Seville. Yep.
After class was done, Liz and I left to go meet my friend Liam at Finchley Road Tube. It was quite funny though, because we take a bus to get to the tube, and it started to pull away as we sprinted to it. But then it stopped, and we jumped on, and the first person I see is Liam! Coincidence? I think not!
So we had a great time, he took us to Covent Garden (which I've wanted to go to for awhile now), and the London Premier of the Fantastic Four was going on, and then an Indian restaurant that was quite quite good. We ate ALOT! After that we walked some more and stopped at an Irish Pub and tasted a Guiness. Not bad. We hung out there for awhile, and then walked to Trefalger (sp?) Square and took photos and such, and walked along the thames before he had to catch his 10.30 PM train. But we had such a great time, and I'm glad we finally got to meet up. "w00t". Oh yeah, Liz is still fuming about the "gormless" thing, har har.
Today I had a field trip with my MB class to the International Federation of Phonographic Records. We endured a long talk there (quite interesting), then we took a train to Southwark and had a talk from Curb Records. Now I'm here at Sirous.
Photo time!
Waiting for the train to Liverpool.

I have so much to do before going to Scotland this weekend. Hope I can get it all done!
Camden!
Well, Lindsey and I are at Camden Market right now in a Starbucks....it's SO awesome. It's also a big flea market with LOTS of clothes and such. Plus all these "Magic Mushroom" vendors because tomorrow England puts a ban on 'em, so everyone is selling them frantically.
But seriously, I'm going to come back here the last week and blow a bunch of money...I mean, um....Oh yeah, dear members of my family, please email me to let me know what y'all want from here...I know Taylor wanted a football jersey or something of that nature, but I forget which team he likes.
It's so cool here though. I could spend all day but we have a test tomorrow! Eeek!
Yes yes, maybe Tuesday I'll upload all the photos from the past few days! sheesh.
Oh yeah, person who posted last anonymously on the last post about seeing me on AIM twice- I don't know who you are! You posted it anonymously! haha.
